[Intro]
A
[Verse]
A
It's a quixotic quest on a hot summer's night
A
I got a fistful of fireworks
A
I'm gonna try and set things right
D
I lost my inhibitions
D A
I think I may have lost my wallet too
E
In this dying land of plenty
E A
There's a whole lot of nothing to do
[Verse]
A
Oh, I'm Billy Pilgrim you're a Dresden doll
A
They carpet bomb the city
A
Thank God they spared the mall
D
Let's hold a vigil
D A
For the kinda, sorta innocent
E
I guess I should defend your virtue
E A
But the truth is I'm still on the fence
[Verse]
A
And old Heinrich Himmler, he never broke the law
A
Well, technically speaking ask Sam Peckinpah
D
Sometimes you need a vigilante
D A
if you want to get a just thing done
E
And I don't want to kill nobody
E A
whose only crime is worshiping the sun
[Chorus]
D A
Breakfast of napalm
D F#m E D
Burn down the place where I belong
D A
Arch rivals make love
E
And they gotta keep it secret
E Dm A
They still do it with the lights on
[Verse]
A
And I got bad nostalgia for what came before
A
Sad reenactments of our civil war
D
My heartache is obsessive
D A
I just wish that I could let it go
E
But there's a mountain down in Georgia
E A
With a kickass laser light show
[Verse]
A
And I can always convince you, you're just like Patty Hearst
A
Or you're a sympathetic baby when I'm at my worst
D
I don't want to brainwash you
D A
I just wish that you would change your tune
E
'Cause I've been gunning for redemption
E A
And I think I'll hit the bullseye soon
[Chorus]
D A
Chartreuse and menthols
D F#m E D
Burn down the town that we were from
D A
I lost my true love
E
to a three-alarm fire
E Dm A
They tried to put out with a squirt gun. Odelay, homes.
[Solo]
A D A E A
[Verse]
A
Sing little child like a Nightingale
A D
Sing little child, send me anthrax through the mail
D A
I wanna to know you, I wanna know if you are true
E
Because the closer I get to you
E A
is the further that I feel from you
[Chorus]
D A
Breakfast of napalm
D F#m E D
Burn down the place where we belong
D A
Arch rivals make love
E
And they gotta keep it secret
E
They gotta keep it secret
E
They gotta keep it secret
E Dm
